786 No New Year From Now On (1/2)

What the Four Seasons Tower had to face now was a thorough abomination, in its most extreme sense. This was the most severe providence backbite that one could hardly recover from!

The Four Seasons Tower's higher authorities would absolutely hate to see this scene.

Facing such a vehement wave of opposition, such intense and united condemnation, any ordinary person would have already broken down.

Mr. Nian, however, scoffed loudly. It sounded like a sonorous thunderclap that thumped through everyone's heart. The people could not help feeling the quake before they paled and staggered. Involuntarily, they thought of the most frightening thoughts they could possibly imagine – who was Mr. Nian? How could he be so powerful and terrifying?

”The final battle is at Tianxuan Cliff. If you're not going, I won't show myself. You can carry on and wait for my next appearance.”

The writing in the sky then changed. ”I believe that the Four Seasons Tower has yet to gain the ability to catch me.”

”Do I need to show my confidence further? I've traveled back and forth in Tiantang City today and even now, have you found out where I am? Have you discovered any trace or hint of my presence? I'm here, right now, but can you possibly capture me? Even if you managed to find out who I really am, so what? Would I really be stupid enough to go under your knife, waiting to be chopped?”

”A day without my appearance will mean an extra day before the Four Seasons Tower's plan can be accomplished.”

The script in the sky transformed quickly, but it exuded a sense of leisure and ease, delight even.

Mr. Nian's graceful voice rang out, ”The Four Seasons Tower's past targets have hidden well, but once a person exposes their trail, there'll be a corresponding weakness. The target will no longer be invincible. Take the Residence of Yun in Tiantang City now; it houses many people you care about. Would you not care about their life and death at all?”

The words in the air morphed once more. ”Tianxuan Cliff has the blood of my eight brothers as well! What do you think?”

”I'm giving you three days' time to set up Tianxuan Cliff, the same set up as the last time!”

The hovering words stopped at this line, not changing anymore afterward. Mr. Nian spoke some more after that, of threats and of terror, but there were no more replies in the sky.

An hour later, the dark clouds etched in the sky slowly dissipated, the ink stain lifting away.

As the ink slowly faded, Tiantang City simmered up with curses.

On this day, tens of millions of Yutang citizens inside and out of Tiantang City condemned the Four Seasons Tower without fail. It was a tough day for those belonging to the tower, as everyone in their family was 'greeted' by the throng of people without exception, repeatedly so.

Filthy words and vile curses were put on a loop while the leader of the Four Seasons Tower, Mr. Nian, was everyone's main target. No one before the nineteenth generation of his ancestors was exempted or excluded. With tough luck, they were attacked and upbraided.

The Four Seasons Tower's undercover personnel were infuriated upon hearing the censure; enraged, they had nowhere to vent their frustrations.

Revenge? How?

Those were tens of millions of people berating you. Who was there to seek revenge upon?

Kill them one by one? No matter how skilled one was, how could one kill so many people?

Those of the Four Seasons Tower could already imagine a more frightening scene. It was only a start now. When the news spread, the people who dealt out condemnation would only increase. By then, it could be hundreds of millions of people – perhaps a few billion, who were censoring them in unison. After all, Yutang had a considerable population.

When it really came to that, the rebuke would exist with them being the target, wherever there were people. How could they seek revenge then?

The Four Seasons Tower men decided wisely. All of them moved out of Tiantang City, to stay away from people. Yes, they were staying away from people. They dared not even stay at the more deserted towns and had gone directly to Tianxuan Cliff.

It was because once Yutang started such a vehement castigation, it would go on for a long, long time. Whether it was literate ministers or laborious vendors, whether it was morning, noon, or night, whether one was with others or alone, it was a curse upon the Four Seasons Tower as animals or unworthy creatures once one was to speak! They would condemn their families too.
